trail of footprints

 Pada means foot or part of a poem and implies a step or passage in the course of one's spiritual or holistic life. Padajna is to know these sacred footprints, and pada-viya is the trail left by the pada journey.

I would not think to touch the sky with two arms -Sappho, fragment 52

Me: witchy, feminist, circus girl, art, curating, writer, photographer, maker of herbal tinctures and the likes, reading poetry, studying dreams, exploring forests, reading tea leaves, watching birds, talking to the moon.

A note: I like to follow certain types of tumblrs through a feed reader, so I may still be following your posts, even if I'm not following you on Tumblr.

Beaghmore Stone Circles, Northern Ireland (via) Discovered during peat cutting in the 1940s the site at Beaghmore consists of 7 stone circles. All of the rings are associated with cairns and a stone row runs towards these cairns. It is possible that Neolithic occupation and cultivation preceded the erection of burial cairns and ceremonial circles and alignments: some irregular lines and heaps of boulders resembling field-fences or field-clearance may predate the ritual structures. At some stage peat started to form over the site, and it may conceivably be that the cairns and rows were erected in a futile propitiatory attempt to restore fertility to the soil by attracting back the fading sun.
